Sorry for the confusion. It is a bit obscure to talk about a north-east quadrant when the lake is laid out along the glacial NW to SE corrider. Perhaps a better way is to refer to the subwatersheds. The map of these can be seen at the winnipesaukeegateway.org site, under watershed maps (click the "display subwatersheds" button). So, in those terms, the Moultonborough Inlet sub-watershed is frozen solid and quite safe in most spots. The Moultonborough Bay sub-watershed (which would include Melvin Village) is somewhat frozen, but has large areas of open water. The singing sounds (in the M'bay Inlet sub) have been going on for over 24 hours. It is caused by cracks forming in the ice. Cracks can go for hundreds of yards, and as they tear along from one point to another, the sound moves like when a boat goes by.
